ROCHESTER — Three people were taken to the hospital Monday after a head-on collision at the intersection of Highland Street and Eastern Avenue.

Around 1:32 p.m., a Jeep Cherokee, driven by Somersworth resident Linda Dodier, was in a collision with a Toyota Avalon, driven by Milton resident Joanne Wilson, who police say failed to yield at the intersection.

The two drivers, as well as Wolfeboro resident Walter Fisher, who was Dodier’s passenger, were transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital for injuries not considered to be life threatening.

From the scene of the accident, police learned that Dodier was traveling east on Highland Street and had a green light as she drove through the intersection with Eastern Avenue. Wilson was traveling west on Highland Street, and, also having a green light, was making a left turn onto Eastern Avenue.

According to police, Wilson turned into the path of Dodier’s vehicle and was therefore struck.

Wilson was issued a summons for alleged failure to yield as a result of the accident.
